"That's so; I take that all back, but what I wanted to say was that it seemed to me as if somebody had interfered with the game."
"That was it exactly, Merriwell, and it was something that we shall have to take a hand in before long."
"How did it happen?"
The others told Frank what they had seen. He listened thoughtfully and remarked:
"Some fellow evidently had a grudge against me."
"It looks that way," responded Rowe.
"Who do you suppose it could be?"
Before Frank could answer there was a knock at the door and Baker hurried in.
"Ah!" he said, in a tone of relief, "I see you've got through all right. There was something I meant to tell you, Rowe, and I forgot all about it."
"What was it?" asked Rowe.
